LEGEND 🙌 !!!!!!!!

Today in news:

Today is my last day at Hot Pod and @verge. It's been a challenging and rewarding two years covering the podcasting industry, and I will miss my time here dearly. I shared some parting thoughts (and a whole lot of thank yous): theverge.com/2024/4/18/2413…

Goodbye for now, Hot Pod (@verge)! Hope you come back soon with podcast and audio industry news. Thanks for everything, @arshapiro90!

“The beauty of podcasting is that, as a creator, you have a deep relationship with your audience. They travel with you from week to week, or day to day.” —Stephen Dubner interviewed by @arshapiro90 at @onairfest

Today at Hot Pod at @onairfest, @arshapiro90 asked @iraglass what he’s listening to. He took out his phone, scrolled, and answered. Here’s a playlist ft. @bbboatclub, @lrmayer, @HacksOnTap, @ToothandClawPod, @PJVogt, & more (via @spotifypodcasts): open.spotify.com/playlist/1JqH6…

Steel and 123 other House GOP members sponsor the Life at Conception Act, which would "grant equal protection" to "each and every member of the species homo sapiens at all stages of life, including the moment of fertilization." It also mentions cloning. No carveout for IVF.

The new multi-year deal will allow for the show to be distributed on YouTube, Apple, and others. Video will also be available on YouTube, unlike the new Call Her Daddy arrangement.

BREAKING: Spotify and Joe Rogan renew deal, but the show will no longer be exclusive to the platform.

Welp, I’m a free agent again. My second layoff in less than a year, and I feel like laughing and crying all at once! If you’re hiring, please get in touch: jclarachan@gmail.com

@onairfest @Freakonomics Plus, @askhalid will be joining Hot Pod Summit for the first time. Very stoked to have her on board this year and announce what other programming we have in the works. Stay tuned!

I am very excited to finally reveal our Hot Pod Summit headliner! @iraglass will join us to talk about how he turned @ThisAmerLife into an independent business that has produced some of the most daring series in the industry. 🧵theverge.com/2024/1/17/2404…

.@arshapiro90 at @TheVerge wrote a great piece on Lexis' absolutely confounding decision to cancel Pro Say. Check it out. theverge.com/2024/1/4/24025…

So @Law360 and @LexisNexis management have decided to discontinue our weekly news podcast Pro Say for reasons that have not been sufficiently explained to me. I disagree with the decision and will keep pressing for answers, but it's goodbye for now. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

I looked at the podcasting industry’s most challenging year, and what it bodes for 2024 for @verge theverge.com/24002021/podca…
